Let's support politicians who put nation first before any personal gain

To the Editor:

I have the luxury of time to get many diverse points of view by way of four daily newspapers, four computer generated papers every day, extensive editorials, TV programs with political commentators, etc. I supplement these with political books. I say all this because I am becoming increasingly concerned of what is happening to this country. What legacy will we be leaving our children?

A recent letter writer in The Hour, under the guise of being concerned with our future, writes an anti-Bush piece, making the accusation that it is President Bush who is directly and fully responsible for every mistake that has been committed in the name of America. She along with the other screaming and whining liberals continue to blame Bush for the war in Iraq.

Technically, we won the war against Iraq, and whatever fighting there is now is with imported terrorists, which most people define as a civil war. It is acknowledged by even the die-hard liberals that at least 50 percent of the combatants are from Saudi Arabia, our so-called ally. Isn't it possible that there is much going on that the average citizen has no knowledge of? These secret goings-on have existed for many years, before Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter, etc.

We must stop these insidious demonstrations of words and deeds by some of the "locals" and start to support the efforts of those politicians who put our country's interest before any personal gain. There are a lot of politicians on both sides who have been caught with their hand in the till, and more yet to be charged. This is not exclusive with the Republicans. It should be noted that in 2007 the Democrats paid more money to the lobbyists than at any time in history. That is an irrefutable fact. It "ain't" the Republicans ... it is the politicians of both parties, and the system that exists. The outspoken local liberals must accept reality.
